Brent Smith

President

Smith brings over 25 years of global experience in cable, satellite and programming to his position as President of Evolution Digital. Smith spearheads the product and marketing strategy. Smith co-leads Evolution's regulatory department that is focused on lobbying the FCC to provide cost-effective solutions for smaller US cable operators. In 2009, Evolution Digital was successful in receiving the first ever product waiver awarded to a vendor for Evolution's low-cost DTA. Smith's regulatory efforts essentially paved the way for the DTA market in the US cable industry and enabling cable operators to reclaim bandwidth in a cost-effective manner.

Prior to Evolution, Smith was instrumental in the development of worldwide strategic partners for Scientific Atlanta (now Cisco). Smith built the Scientific Atlanta Canadian revenue from 2-3 million annually to in excess of 110 million per year, primarily through securing long term contracts for the transition to digital with the key customers in Canada, predominantly Rogers and Videotron. During his career at Scientific Atlanta, Smith established the branch office to service the Middle East and India and developed key relationships with major cable operators in India for all Scientific Atlanta digital products.

Smith began his international business career with Star TV, a division of Newscorp, where he was based in Dubai. Smith was responsible for distribution and marketing of Star TV programming and cable TV equipment for the Middle East, India and Pakistan.
